Hpctraining.com brings an integrated systems approach to training
directly to users from experts on a variety of in-depth technical
topics. The site assembles instructors from a breadth of notable server,
storage and software companies that span the industry.

“SGI created hpctraining.com as a one-stop shop to streamline training
with a complete repository of courses from trusted vendors,” said Peter
Luff, professional services director at SGI. “Our common goal is to
promote the best system operations training available.”

“Hpctraining.com literally opens the door to worldwide ‘local’ training,
delivering courses directly to individual HPC users,” said Derek Burke,
channels and marketing director at Panasas. “It is extremely simple to
manage training, from registration to coursework; it streamlines the
entire learning process, and eliminates costly and time-consuming
travel. We are pleased to be a partner in this industry-first endeavor.”

Users can earn points for the
Accreditation
for Continued Excellence (ACE) program. Hpctraining.com offers ACE
credentials to students who successfully complete examinations on topics
presented in one or more classes. Individual and sequence credentials
are available.

“I have taken many valuable courses on HPC technology equipment through
SGI Customer Education. Now hpctraining.com, with its cross-company
curriculum, will become a very valuable HPC education hub,” said Peter
Guyan, production systems manager at Deluxe Digital London. “Previously
the training approach in the market was adhoc and fragmented; now my
staff and I can consider all of our training needs and benefit from a
breadth of experts in one place, decreasing the time and cost of
training and increasing our productivity.”
